Faculty Page Descriptions #731

Closed annmarieven closed 7 years ago

annmarieven commented 8 years ago

We changed how job titles are entered into faculty bios but I don't think we changed how the metadata description is being automatically populated.

Can someone look into that? It will be more complex since there are multiple job titles, multiple departments, etc.

Can we see what it was doing and talk about it in our Cascade meeting to see what our options are moving forward?

It is currently grabbing the first job title entered and it is not including the school.

Google recommends a max of 155 characters max, which does not leave much room for the professors who have 3+ job titles.

We should definitely bring this up in our next Cascade meeting.

Doesn't look like it's working... he has a job title here but the description isn't right. And this would have recently been published from our whole site publish.

We're going to keep it as just the first job title entered.

A faculty bio submission with tinker is what creates the metadata description. So I submitted that bio through tinker, and it works, it just needed to be resubmitted

Here is the list of 252 bios it does not work for, which will have to either be resubmitted through tinker, manually entered, or I can take a few hours to write something that does it automatically.

The first number is the ID of the page and the second is the current description.

Let me know which you choose!

annmarieven commented 8 years ago

How long would it take to write a script to do this automatically?

c-schwarze commented 8 years ago

To test it thoroughly, so that I don't mess up the data, I would say 3-4 hours.

@emily-johnson and @kathrynmagnuson we need to go through the above bios and manually enter the description into the metadata. We just need to enter the person's first job title into the description, submit, and publish (to staging and prod) the page.

The descriptions will read, "Meet Patti Meras, [Professor,] at Bethel University."

The content in the [ ] is what you're manually adding. Make a note in the github where you started and finished so the other person knows which ones have been done.

Let me know if you have questions!

These are done! A couple notes:

What is left to do on this?
